Amelia wasn't supposed to notice Shawn like this.
It began as something small, almost forgettable, the kind of presence that doesn't demand attention but somehow keeps it anyway. Nothing about it felt important at first, just passing moments, casual exchanges, the kind of thing that should have stayed simple.
But somewhere along the way, it didn't.
With Shawn and Amelia, even the quiet felt different. Not empty. Full in a way that couldn't be explained. A glance that stayed a little too long. A distance that never really felt like distance at all.
And slowly, without Amelia realizing when it happened, Shawn became a thought that stayed longer than he did...
like something Amelia's heart had quietly learned to return to.
